[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 93957, member: 484"] Tie I would agree that there are some pieces of information that are missing to allow the full view of what happened. And it all boils down to the legal view of fault vs the company view of avoid-ability which are not always the same thing. Getting the even playing field to chargeable avoidable would be nice. It would seem there are many problems getting to that point though. And in many areas of the country. But as I suspect, the driver might have checked her mirror or not, the cyclist hit her in the rear, which would allow me to assume that he was still BEHIND her and had not yet passed her. That would make looking into the rear view mirror a non issue as she would not have been able to see him anyway. Now you must admit, hitting the driver in the rear even if the driver was beginning her turn makes it unavoidable to me. You only have very limited control over what motorists do behind you. And you are limited in how you can respond to them by moving forward or into another lane. And in this case, neither of which looks to have been the right answer. d [/QUOTE]
